    Any place that sells beer and wine is worth stopping at……

    Trucking through the winter wonderland.................................,..Westbound cars are sliding, and the Saltshakers are hiding. A typical day, making my way, Trucking through the Winter Wonderland. At the T/A you can build a Snowman, dress him up like a DOT, On your way out you can run him over, that’ll help to fill your heart with glee. Later on, as your Ridin, and the 4 wheelers are slidin,your makin your way, Just another day. Trucking through the Winter Wonderland. Whoop Whoop!

    Nice rant on vans.

    This Stooge parked on the interior where every truck leaving and entering drives by.

    It was a parking job that any first week cdl student would be proud of.

    I wonder about Joe's over all judgements dragging that kind of weight down the highway if he thought that abortion of a parking job was acceptable.

    His flashy thingy still works however, it's just that it's like three feet in front of the rest of the truck.

    Perhaps he can save on a pilot car now, and spend $60 for a motel with his big money load.

    The truck has stopped. Stopped in WHY-OH-MING on the Continental Deevide in late January.

    How could this happen?

    MPG is holding at 7.5

    The OM said we van knock off for the day. Might scout some locations for The Davetro.

    Don't think we'll make Casper. Plus there's only like 12 spots available at that tiny J in Casper to begin with.

    Lol. I don't care if your a super load or a dually, the number one rule of thumb to parking is anticipating how to not get your **** all tore up. It truly is. I don't trust anyone. A man's life can change when he wakes up to his hood being crushed and his steers pointing in a funny direction.

    Saying Opus has departed is very poor taste.

    The overall length is governed (prime mover(tractor) and trailer(s)), so is axle spacings. To get the most payload on they shorten the prime mover (tractor)
